[Verse 1]

For take off and for landing

She pulls on her black gloves

In case she needs to throw your burning body through the clouds

Her voice says you’re okay

To stand up

The eyes say something more

Like give up


[Chorus]

'Cause I’ve finally found a way to release you

And I don’t need anything you left me


[Verse 2]

From thirty-nine thousand feet, the heartland is a code

The grid of farms and dirt streets hides a heavy load

A voice says wipe it all away, start anew

History takes a while to see through


[Chorus]

'Cause I’ve finally found a way to release you

And I don’t need anything you left me

And I’ve finally found a way to unseat you

And I don’t want anything you left me


[Verse 3]

You keep your resistance in a jar pressed to the pane

Casting on the runway its formless stain

You in your safe place

Receptive like a blown up gate

Protected like a cavity beneath the waves


[Chorus]

'Cause I’ve finally found a way to release you

And I don’t need anything you left me

And I’ve finally found a way to unseat you

And I don’t want anything you left me
